I feel like purchasing a duplex, living in one unite, renting the other out, and purchasing a deal where the numbers work correctly to where my living expenses would be paid for by my tenant, would be an excellent way to not only help me achieve my goal of paying off my student loan debt, but also help me get a taste of what land lording is like to see if it is a route I would enjoy taking. 

- Actively employed as an EHS Engineer (still enjoy my work, I think!)

I enjoy doing CMAs, and as long as I am not taken advantage of, I am happy to help.   

I enjoyed the thread and thank you for the update it is appreciated. 

While new to REI, I plan on investing in commercial real estate (Northern California, Tahoe, Nevada, Pacific Northwest).I have enjoyed the BP podcasts and learned much from Brandon's books, among others.

ENJOY THE RIDE -CharlesPS - Do not make an offer until you view 50 houses!!

Enjoy!

I sincerely enjoyed all of your suggestions and advice.

If you plan on buying additional homes with this person, I would just let her enjoy this easy sale because the next one might be much more difficult. 

Thanks for sharing and enjoy the rewards of a hard job well done!!!
